The Phoenix Suns concluded the 2024-25 NBA season with a disappointing 36-46 record, landing them 11th in the Western Conference and marking their first playoff absence in four years. Despite having a star-studded trio of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal, the team struggled with glaring weaknesses, finishing with a defensive rating of 117.7, the 27th in the league. Their offensive rating of 114.7 was only slightly better, ranking 13th.

Booker and Durant posted decent individual numbers, but the overall team performance was a disaster, leading to the departure of head coach Mike Budenholzer after just one season. With multiple stars but no first-round pick until 2032, the Suns face a challenging offseason ahead. Booker achieved a career-high in assists, averaging 7.1 per game, but saw a dip in points per game and field goal percentage. Meanwhile, Dunn emerged as a potential future asset, showcasing his all-around skills despite inconsistency. Beal’s struggles were notable, as he averaged only 17.0 points, his lowest since 2014-15. Moving forward, the Suns must navigate significant roster changes to find a way back to contention.
